State Minister for Information & Broadcasting Farrukh Habib said on Saturday that nobody would be allowed to go escort free and the Sharif family would have to be answerable to the state institutions as well as people about their loot and plunder.
Talking to the media during launching a book of prominent writer Nadeem Rizvi at Jinnah Hall of District Council here, he said that Prime Minister Imran Khan was committed to take all corrupt elements to task so that entire looted national wealth could be recovered from them.
He said that previous rulers had plundered national wealth with great impunity and now they were using different tactics to divert the attention of general public from their accountability. He said that funds of billions were transferred to the accounts of Sharif family including Shahbaz Sharif but they were still reluctant to expose Masroor Anwar like people who deposited billions of rupees in their accounts.
He said the opposition trumpeted negative propaganda against the PTI that it was ineligible to handle the country as well as its economy”, but the time proved that PTI not only dragged Pakistan from multifaceted crises but also put it on the road to progress and prosperity. Now, due to prudent policies of the PTI government, the national economy had witnessed 5.37 per cent growth in the GDP during last fiscal year, he added. He said that corona had badly jolted the entire economic situation in the world.
The economies even of developed countries started squeezing during COVID but on other hand, Prime Minister Imran Khan adopted smart lockdown policy against complete closure of industries and other sectors due to which the economy of Pakistan started growing up.
He said that PML-N leaders including Miftah Ismail were also accepting recent GDP growth rate as it was not only sustainable but also had solid basis, he added. He said the global community also appreciated smart lockdown policy of PM Imran Khan against COVID as it not only contained the spread of corona pandemic but also helped people to continue earning their livelihood. The minister said that 4 persons wanted to usurp the top-slot of PML-N by removing Nawaz Sharif and for this purpose, they were not only hatching conspiracies against each other as well as against Nawaz Sharif but also creating confusion against Local Bodies elections.
He said that Local Bodies elections would soon be arranged in Punjab. Therefore, PTI workers and activists should keep themselves prepared to take part in LB elections with full strength. He said that inflation was a global phenomena, adding that due to corona pandemic, the prices of various items had increased manifolds but the PTI government saved Pakistani people by passing minimum burden of global inflation on them. —APP
